United Way, Sex education may be a good idea in the schools, but I don’t believe the kids should be given homework.
Social services ad playing on public fear. I think most do, it’s the easy and true rote. But really this means they are trying to test your convince not inspire or even better to educate. Its exactly like the “Every time you masturbate; God kills a kitten” thing.
Well the message and the visuals are quite tight. I am not sure why the contrast is so dull here; it just does not pop at all. I hope that was someone’s intension all along. I suppose its all about the prop designer and the creative idea.

Possibly the idea was to make the topics appear unattractive. Young teens will crack jokes (pun intentional) but the point may be well taken by some of the older or more matures ones.
Why does blame always go to the prostitutes (victim types) instead of where it belongs. No market no sell no difficult concept to understand people.

Good point Paula! I think that education in general should be a top priority. Kids need to be educated about sex and drugs just as much (if not more than) as math and science.
